Australian Cricket Team fast bowler Nathan Coulter-Nile wants his side to win the opening fixture in the upcoming three-match Twenty20 International series against India starting from November 21 (Wednesday).
Meanwhile, the Aussies are currently going through a tough phase as they went down third time from four matches this summer against South Africa on the Gold Coast on Saturday. Furthermore, the 21-run loss to South Africa in the rain-marred encounter was the fourth consecutive T20I loss for Australia.
However, the hosts will be keen to overturn their poor record against India, who will be confident from their recent wins. But Nathan Coulter-Nile said there’s no secret as to how Australia can regain their confidence for the upcoming series.
“Confidence comes from wins, doesn’t it? We’ve just got to find a way to win, scrap a win out,” Coulter-Nile said. “Find a bit of luck. Once one win happens you get a bit of confidence built up,” he added.
Furthermore, Australia are unlikely to retain the all-pace attack which they played for the rain-marred clash with the Proteas when they face India. Nathan Coulter-Nile feels Ashton Agar or Adam Zampa may come to the playing Xi depending on the conditions.
“I think a spinner will come in, big square boundaries,” Coulter-Nile said. “We went pace-heavy because the wicket looked like it was going to be a bit up-and-down,” he signed off.
Both Australia and India will hold the final training session on Tuesday ahead of Wednesday’s clash at Brisbane.
